[GreenKeys] Merry Christmas & Happy New Year To ALL

[George B. Hutchison]

I'm taking the day off from teletype stuff and cooking a 17 pound 
turkey so all who wander over here today will be able to get 
stuffed!!

Tomorrow I will prepare freight/shipping estimates for cartons and 
cases of tape.

I will address the machinery issues after the tape considerations 
are complete.

All items will be shipped in a form of ARMOR so as to protect the 
contents.

The cases were open and beginning to rip so they were emptied and 
recycled.

Each shipment will be encased in 1/4" plywood floor underlayment 
which is relatively cheap and tough. I know I would  want my stuff 
to be resistant to a fleet of knuckle-draggers, and so yours will be 
to the best of my ability, tempered with expedience.

Enough of this.

Please wish all of the ITTY Editors a gracious Merry Christmas and 
Happy New Year. I have had a lot on my plate the past month or so, 
and Tom, Wayne, and a couple of others have kept ITTY the class act 
that it is.

A big HOORAH for Tom Tillson and his efforts at what is rapidly 
becoming famous, The Tom Tillson Teletype Picture Show that he has 
been running.

I would dearly love to find any archive that might have a copy of 
some of those astounding Associated Press and United Press 
Interrnational Christmas, New years, and Thanksgiving picture runs 
they used to do back in the days of the machines. Those ran 
literally all day and night over the radio and newspaper wires, and 
were sometimes fifty to sixty feet long, all one continuous picture.

Boy, those were the days!!!

And in all seriousness, let us not forget our service people who are 
stationed in the hell hole called the middle east. I sometimes 
wonder why we send our young to places like that when cantankerous 
old farts such as myself who have had relatively decent lives are 
more than willing to deal with the bath towel set. I dunno..

Take care, all, and one more decidedly political incorrectness goes 
to you with  A MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HANNUKA(SP?), and HAPPY NEW 
YEAR.
